Remember, one of my new year's resolution was to learn to bake bread? Well! I have been working at it by baking bread often and learning a few techniques here and there. Since the Cilantro onion bread, I had not felt that the breads I made were blog worthy. But not today, I used a basic bread recipe and decided to make something different with it. With the leftover green and sweet chutney, I decided to create my chaat bread. It was a very crazy idea, but I wanted to give it a try. My daughter was my sous chef and shared my excitement in baking the chaat bread. It was her idea to add onions as toppings in swirls to create a pattern on the top. The bread scored big with my in-house bread critics. I have learned that if by the end of the day more than 3/4 of the bread disappears and there are requests for seconds then it must be blog worthy. For me, it was an interesting bread because, half the bread tasted spicy and the other tasted sweet and it kind of balanced off well.
